Hope House £50 Challenge 2025 – Your local children’s hospice is offering you the chance to raise vital funds while doing something fun and strengthening your team.
£50 Challenge
Hope House in Oswestry and Tŷ Gobaith in Conwy have just launched their £50 Challenge for 2025. This initiative tests businesses, schools and social groups to accept a £50 investment and multiply as many times as possible in 50 days.
Their mission is to give every local child with a life-threatening condition and their family access to professional care and improve their quality of life from the point of diagnosis.
The fundraising drive runs from 3rd March to 21st April. Free sign-ups are now open on their website via hopehouse.org.uk/50challenge. All entrants will be fully supported by the fundraising team, who can provide branded materials and inspiration. Event ideas can include quiz or cocktail evenings. Participants can also enter a sponsored sporting event, a raffle for customers. They can even use the money to develop a new product for sale.
A Money-Raising Car Wash!
Last year, WF Education Group showed some real initiative. They hosted a car wash for all staff at their Shrewsbury HQ. Larissa Spencer, Customer Support Manager, said, “For WF, it was a brilliant way to bring the team together to collaborate ideas. We decided that a company car wash would be a fab way to have lots of fun in the sunshine, while raising money for an exceptional cause! And, of course, we all had a nice shiny car at the end of it, too.”
Examples of what your event and multiplied £50 could fund are:
- £100 could fund a support session for bereaved parents where they can access emotional support from Hope House’s team of expert bereavement counsellors.
- £500 could fund an action-packed sibling support day for brothers and sisters of children in hospice care. Mary Leighton, from the Sibling Support Team, said: “It’s so wonderful to be able to bring the children on adventures. Quite often, they may be a little shy initially. However, throughout the day, their confidence and smiles grow, which is beautiful to see.”
- £1,500 could fund 24 hours of respite care or crisis care for a seriously ill child. Deputy Head of Care at Tŷ Gobaith, Kate Jones, said, “It is the biggest compliment we can be given that parents trust us to care for their precious children. It’s a real bond of trust. Supporting people through their experience and ensuring they feel safe is something families really feel the benefit of when they come here.”
“Live Their Best Life”
Fundraiser Bekki Fardoe is heading the campaign. She said, “Our mission is to ensure we reach every local child with a life-threatening condition and enable them to live their best life. Last year, the £50 Challenge raised £27,000. With the help of caring and ingenious regional businesses, we would love to top that and ensure physical and emotional support for families who are suffering.
“It’s such a great way to fulfil corporate social responsibility and show your community that you are passionate about making a difference. So join us in 2025 and get your team’s creative juices flowing to start the New Year.”
